Different surfaces, different methods
Loading bays and dock areas
We usually work through dock areas a few bays at a time so deliveries keep moving. Your site hours and access windows set the order.
Saw-cut induced joints
Induced joints are sawn into a new slab to control where it cracks. They start narrow and widen as the concrete dries, and on truck routes they need a filler that supports the edges.
When to call us in Lodge Lees
Unfilled joints soon pack with grit, shrink-wrap scraps and pallet splinters. That debris is hard and levers at the edges as wheels pass so the arrises break sooner.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Brittle joint filler breaking up
- Loading bay joints breaking down
- Sealant pulled out along a truck route
- Unfilled floor joints collecting dirt and grit
Around Lodge Lees, each joint gets a filler or sealant matched to what crosses it and how much it moves.
What your quote should include
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
When it isn’t the sealant
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- A floor that is out of level for the racking or trucks
- Structural cracking in the slab
- Unstable slabs moving under traffic
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Floor joint sealing in Lodge Lees: the local picture
Rainfall across the South East, Lodge Lees included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, and winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint. At about 58 miles from central London, Lodge Lees is within reach of the capital. Distribution warehouses and industrial estates are common around the motorway corridors that serve the capital, and their floor joints take forklift and pallet-truck traffic all day.
Business parks such as Barham Business Park, 0.7 miles to the west of Lodge Lees, have car parks, paved areas and long brick and panel elevations, all with movement joints.

Questions about Lodge Lees
Is Lodge Lees too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Will you take on work at estates like Barham Business Park, close to Lodge Lees?
Yes. Our area takes in Lodge Lees and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Barham Business Park included. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, as many construction sites ask for.
Can the warehouse stay open while you work?
Normally only the zone we’re working in has to close. Each zone reopens when the product can take traffic, then we move to the next.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Which is better for warehouse joints, filler or sealant?
We decide joint by joint. Hard wheels need edge support, which points to a semi-rigid filler and perimeter or movement joints need flexibility. The quote sets out what goes where.
